Job Description.....

My G.G Grandfather was a "Huntsman".

Exactly what did this job entail?

Hi 3BB,
The obvious could be connected with Hunting. But a Huntsman is a person who searches and surveys forests for hardwood trees, moreso in 'the colonies'.

If he searched for hardwood trees then obviously he wanted to cut them down to make wood out of them for building things then like horse and carts, furniture etc?

That was the job Benny, searching and surveying, not cutting. Middle management job methinks.
